Animal rights organisation PETA has made a browsergame in which players have to chase Mario as an angry, skinned racoon.
This as a reaction to Mario wearing the Tanooki Suit in the game, expressing that wearing fur is allowed.
The action of PETA is in combination with the release of Super Mario 3D Land, in which the Tanooki Suit returns as a special suit for Mario to use. By waving the tail of the suit, Mario can fly.
PETA says that they know that in the game, it is just a suit, but according to them, it gives the wrong impression. If you want to see the game for yourself, just click here.
Oooh PETA, you’ll never learn
sick as hell… Mario is a game character, not a freakin anti-animal activist!
